Humpback whale breaching. At Montreal !!

"It's a very unusual situation," said Robert Michaud, the co-ordinator for the Quebec Marine Mammal Emergency Network. 

Michaud said that, as far as local marine biologists are aware, this is the first time a humpback whale made its way into Montreal waters.  "This is a first for a humpback whale. We already had a beluga in the Old Port in 2012, a minke whale reluctantly a few years ago and more frequently seals also ventured to Montreal," Michaud said... 

The whale appears to have travelled from Tadoussac, where it lives in salt water. Michaud said it can survive in fresh water, but the food and water around Montreal won't be as healthy.
